README

Brightery is a cache-first, SEO-first, AI-native PHP application framework built for explicit, compiled, inspectable applications rather than runtime magic.

Install

composer require brightery/framework "^1.0"

For a complete application:

composer create-project brightery/app my-project "^1.0"

Stable 1.x contract

Stable classes registered in an application's api-surface.php are covered by the 1.x backward-compatibility policy. Public parameter names are included because PHP named arguments make renaming a parameter a source-breaking change.

php vendor/bin/brightery api:snapshot storage/release/api-surface.json
php vendor/bin/brightery api:check previous-api-surface.json
php vendor/bin/brightery support:policy --json

Production workflow

php vendor/bin/brightery app:install
php vendor/bin/brightery optimize
php vendor/bin/brightery runtime:soak --iterations=5000 --json
php vendor/bin/brightery release:check --production --json

Design principles

• PHP 8.4 minimum with strict types;
• manual routes and constructor injection;
• deterministic production compilation;
• request scopes for persistent workers;
• secure defaults and fail-closed optional integrations;
• JSON table schemas and explicit data tasks;
• provider-neutral queues, storage, mail, notifications, realtime, and telemetry;
• AI output treated as untrusted structured input;
• no controller scanning, automatic endpoint exposure, or request-specific static state.
